About this fabric

This colourway reads as a restrained lilac-mauve rather than a bright purple, with a cool grey softness that keeps it elegant and easy to live with. The plain surface shows a fine wool texture with a gentle, matte look, so the shade feels even and composed across the cloth. Woven in 100% wool and measuring approx. 140cm wide, Harvard Lilac is suitable where you want a fabric with natural body and a refined handle. The repeat is listed as V 0cm / H 0cm approx., confirming the understated, non-directional character visible in the swatch. Care code Q 8 + T 3 and fire code √BH add useful specification detail for upholstery or curtain schemes.

How to use it

Use it on a clean-lined chair or banquette to bring a cool lilac note into oak, stone, or pale painted interiors. It also works well as drapery in rooms that need a softened colour accent without heavy pattern.

A quiet lilac wool that works beautifully for tailored upholstery or soft drapery.

Pairs well with

Harvard Lilac is a quiet cloth, so it carries a pattern beside it: one of these on the curtains and this on the chair. Mixed across the houses we hold, which is the part a single supplier's book cannot do.

Paint that goes with it

Two ways to take the room. Both colours are from houses we hold, so a pot can come off the same order as the cloth. Screens shift colour, so treat these as a direction and bring the cloth to the shelf before you buy the paint.
